Domestic skincare: why Finnish skin needs different care

Kotimainen ihonhoito: miksi suomalainen iho tarvitsee erilaista hoitoa

Let's be honest: most skincare products are developed elsewhere. In Japan, Korea, France, the United States. They work there. But Finnish skin lives in a very different environment.

Winter in Finland is long. The outdoor air is cold and dry, while the indoor air is warm and dry. Skin loses its moisture in both directions. Frost constricts blood vessels and slows down metabolism in the skin. Temperature fluctuations between indoor and frosty air can stress the skin barrier.

Add to this the cultural sauna tradition: often detergent, hot water, steam. It's great for everything else, but it's also one of the most effective ways to dry out the skin.

Silky Sage was developed in Finland, tested on Finnish skin. Not formulated in a laboratory to fit a Korean trend – but out of practical necessity. More nourishment, more protection, fewer additives.

Tallow withstands cold. Calendula and sage are familiar from Finnish flora. The raw materials have also been chosen because they work in this climate.

Domestic skincare is not just a matter of patriotism; it's purely developed out of necessity. Do you know under what conditions the product was developed?
